Strategy and Execution

1. Funneling:
   • Use the Wizards and Baby Dragon to create a funnel on either side of the entry point.
   • Deploy the Ice Golems to tank damage and establish a clear path for the Hog Riders and Super Hogs.
2. Setting the Path:
   • Deploy the Hog Riders and Super Hogs in a wide line or grouped, depending on the base layout.
   • Place the Grand Warden in ground mode with the main group to support and provide his eternal tome ability.
3. Main Push:
   • Deploy the Headhunters to target and eliminate enemy heroes.
   • Use the Siege Barracks or Log Launcher to create an additional funnel and release more Hog Riders into the core of the base.
4. Healing and Spell Management:
   • Use the Heal Spells strategically to keep the Hog Riders and Super Hogs alive as they move through high-damage areas.
   • Use the Freeze Spells to neutralize high-damage defenses (Inferno Towers, Eagle Artillery, Scattershots).
   • Deploy the Rage Spell to boost the damage output and healing effect in critical areas.
5. Heroes Support:
   • Deploy the Archer Queen and Barbarian King behind the main push to support and clear defenses.
   • Use the Royal Champion strategically to target high-value defenses or assist in clearing the core of the base.
   • Use the Grand Warden’s ability to protect the troops during heavy fire or when approaching key defenses.
6. Cleanup:
   • Deploy any remaining Wizards and Balloons to clean up leftover buildings and structures.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

1. High Speed and Damage Output:
   • Hog Riders and Super Hogs have high speed and damage output, making them effective at quickly clearing defenses.

   • Requires precise funneling to prevent troops from wandering off and losing their effectiveness.
3. Spell Timing and Placement:
   • Success heavily relies on proper spell timing and placement, making it less forgiving for mistakes.
